So-called mineral, vegetable, and animal substances are no more contingent now on time or material structure than they were when "the morning stars sang together."
turn away from a false material sense
Love alone can impart the limitless idea of infinite Mind.

Day 254: Genesis i.14-16

Day 210: Explain Christian Science to Patient
…harmony is universal, and discord is unreal. Christian Science declares that Mind is substance, also that matter neither feels, suffers, nor enjoys. Hold these points strongly in view. Keep in mind the verity of being,--that man is the image and likeness of God, in whom all being is painless and permanent. Remember that man's perfection is real and unimpeachable, whereas imperfection is blameworthy, unreal, and is not brought about by divine Love.

Day 202: Harmony of Being
The action of so-called mortal mind must be destroyed by the divine Mind to bring out the harmony of being.

Day 199: Law of mind or Mind?
Sometimes it is easy to confuse mortal mind and material senses with the physical form, since the erroneous belief says that they are inseparable. But Mary Baker Eddy reminds us:
The body seems to be self-acting, only because mortal mind is ignorant of itself, of its own actions, and of their results,--ignorant that the predisposing, remote, and exciting cause of all bad effects is a law of so-called mortal mind, not of matter.
Have no fear that matter can ache, swell, and be inflamed as the result of a law of any kind, when it is self-evident that matter can have no pain nor inflammation.
A false belief is both the tempter and the tempted, the sin and the sinner, the disease and its cause.
The sick unconsciously argue for suffering, instead of against it. They admit its reality, whereas they should deny it. They should plead in opposition to the testimony of the deceitful senses, and maintain man's immortality and eternal likeness to God.
The admission that any bodily condition is beyond the control of Mind disarms man, prevents him from helping himself, and enthrones matter through error.
We should remember that Life is God, and that God is omnipotent.

Day 198: Hold Fast to this Ideal
The issues of pain or pleasure must come through mind, and like a watchman forsaking his post, we admit the intruding belief, forgetting that through divine help we can forbid this entrance.
The only course is to take antagonistic grounds against all that is opposed to the health, holiness, and harmony of man, God's image.
The physical affirmation of disease should always be met with the mental negation. Whatever benefit is produced on the body, must be expressed mentally, and thought should be held fast to this ideal.
Admitting only such conclusions as you wish realized in bodily results, you will control yourself harmoniously.
Your decisions will master you, whichever direction they take.

Day 196: Pseudo-mental Testimony
This pseudo-mental testimony can be destroyed only by the better results of Mind's opposite evidence.

Day 188: Uplifting the Race
The necessity for is father to the fact that Mind can do it; for Mind can impart purity instead of impurity, strength instead of weakness, and health instead of disease. Truth is an alterative in the entire system, and can make it "every whit whole."

Day 173: The Basis of all Health
339:1-340:29
The basis of all health, sinlessness, and immortality is the great fact that God is the only Mind; and this Mind must be not merely believed, but it must be understood. To get rid of sin through Science, is to divest sin of any supposed mind or reality, and never to admit that sin can have intelligence or power, pain or pleasure. You conquer error by denying its verity. Our various theories will never lose their imaginary power for good or evil, until we lose our faith in them and make life its own proof of harmony and God.

Day 161: Jesus & the Jews
[the Jews’] material views were the parents of their wicked deeds
He knew of but one Mind and laid no claim to any other. He knew that the Ego was Mind instead of body and that matter, sin, and evil were not Mind;

Day 159: False Beliefs
Through false estimates of soul as dwelling in sense and of mind as dwelling in matter, belief strays into a sense of temporary loss or absence of soul, spiritual truth. This state of error is the mortal dream of life and substance as existent in matter, and is directly opposite to the immortal reality of being.
Matter is made up of supposititious mortal mind-force;but all might is divine Mind. Thought will finally be understood and seen in all form, substance, and color, but without material accompaniments.
Matter, sin, and mortality lose all supposed consciousness or claim to life or existence, as mortals lay off a false sense of life, substance, and intelligence. But the spiritual, eternal man is not touched by these phases of mortality.

Day 147: Mini-treatment - Sin, Sickness, & Death
Sin, sickness, and death are comprised in human material belief, and belong not to the divine Mind. There are without a real origin or existence. They have neither Principle nor permanence, but belong, with all that is material and temporal, to the nothingness of error, which simulates the creations of Truth. All creations of Spirit are eternal; but creations of matter must return to dust. Error supposes man to be both mental and material. Divine Science contradicts this postulate and maintains man's spiritual identity.

Day 138: Everything is Mind
The testimony of the material senses is neither absolute nor divine.
Metaphysics resolves things into thoughts, and exchanges the objects of sense for the ideas of Soul.
Monday, May 23, 2011
Day 135: Work as God Works
The crude creations of mortal thought must finally give place to the glorious forms which we sometimes behold in the camera of divine Mind, when the mental picture is spiritual and eternal. Mortals must look beyond fading, finite forms, if they would gain the true sense of things.
As mortals gain more correct views of God and man, multitudinous objects of creation, which before were invisible, will become visible.
There can be but one creator, who has created all.

Day 123: Treatment of mind
Mortal mind is the acknowledged seat of human motives. It forms material concepts and produces every discordant action of the body. If action proceeds from the divine Mind, action is harmonious. If it comes from erring mortal mind, it is discordant and ends in sin, sickness, death. Those two opposite sources never mingle in fount or stream. The perfect
Mind sends forth perfection, for God is Mind. Imperfect mortal mind sends forth its own resemblances, of which the wise man said, "All is vanity."
Question: Is there a list of all mini-treatments like this somewhere on the Internet?

Day 120: Mind & mind
233:16-235:6
compass the destruction of sin and sickness by overcoming the thoughts which produce them, and by understanding the spiritual idea which corrects and destroys them
The counter fact relative to any disease is required to cure it.

Day 119: Harmony & Discord
…discords have only a fabulous existence, are mortal beliefs which divine Truth and Love destroy
He [Jesus] referred man's harmony to Mind, not to matter...

Day 114: Mind & the Body
He learned that suffering and disease were the self-imposed beliefs of mortals, and not the facts of being; that God never decreed disease, –never ordained a law that fasting should be a means of health.
This new-born understanding, that neither food nor the stomach, without the consent of mortal mind, can make one suffer, brings with it another lesson, –that gluttony is a sensual illusion, and that this phantasm of mortal mind disappears as we better apprehend our spiritual existence and ascend the ladder of life.

Day 111: The Body
If man is governed by the law of divine Mind, his body is in submission to everlasting Life and Truth and Love.
Monday, April 18, 2011
Day 99: The Brain
The brain can give no idea of God's man. It can take no cognizance of Mind. Matter is not the organ of infinite Mind.
Friday, April 15, 2011
Day 97:
The divine Mind includes all action and volition, and man in Science is governed by this Mind.
